How do you remove the nib for this stylus? I wanna place in a Stroke nib in, but this one seems to be stuck or something.

Mine came with a circular clamp type thing, like a ring with a gap in it, and the gap clamped onto the nib when you squeeze the ring. Basically it's like tweezers, so I'd say: use tweezers and grab that nib and pull. It's firmly seated but it does pull out.Haha, or teeth like Nancy says :-)

It's the same nib that the pen comes with...not sure of the 'size'...doesn't really say on the box. It just seems that some fit more 'snug' than others do. This was the second one that I have refilled. Before this one, I had another one of the same pen that, when I tried to pull the nib out, it broke because it fit quite tightly in the plastic "body" of the pen. I think I got lucky that the one in my current pen fits tight enough not to leak, but loose enough that I can very easily pull it out when I need to refill it and put it back in again. As I said in my review, the current pen I'm using now is on its 10th refill and still going strong! It's the same nib that the pen comes with...not sure of the 'size'...doesn't really say on the box.

All the nibs screw on and off. The nib that comes on the burner in the package may be on really tight and can't be done by hand. I had to use small pliers to get it started- just don't scratch the actual tip- grab at the base.

Check out the photos on the Amazon product page. Although the photos show a converter, this fits into the nib unit in exactly the same way as a cartridge. Simply, but gently, push the smallest end of the cartridge into the opening behind the threaded portion of the nib unit so that the nipple inside the unit pierces the membrane at the tip of the cartridge. You may have to wait a moment or two for the ink to get through - a couple of quick but gentle downward shakes usually does the trick (but don't bang the nib down on the paper to start the inkflow!), or you can even give the cartridge a slight squeeze if necessary. Sounds much harder than it actually is! Just check the photos for how the pen looks disassembled and have a play around. Easy.

there was an extra nib in the package.... i have NOT tried that nib.... i just assumed it was exactly that... an extra nib. I will try it now though, that you mention this thought, to see it it is actually any different....

I have one stylus that has a removable tip. The silver ring will screw off, then the old black rubber tip can be pulled off and the new tip put on over the exposed silver post. Then replace the silver ring. I have another stylus where the tip does not screw off. I have not mastered this tip or even determined whether or not it can be removed. In a different packet of new tips were long flat silver strips that look as if they would replace a silver tip, but I can't get the old tip off.

Hmmm... interesting question! It looks to me as though it isn't intended to be removed. I haven't attempted to remove it. I think it is just part of the pen. That's my opinion on the matter.

I'm sorry I've not changed the nib, therefore I'm not able to give you the correct answer. Although I did attempt to take the nib out today and was not able to move it. Perhaps I'm not doing it properly. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.

Wow, I havn't heard of scratches from normal use. I do get small plastic rub marks from the stylus's nib. But I wipe it down with that microfiber cloth it comes with and they all disappear. I have been using it for about 9 months and still havnt worn the nib down. Is it possible there is something stuck to your pen or some solid dirt on your screen that is getting rubbed around?

Don't give up just yet! This is a common problem, even for higher-priced models (unless you get the top-of-the-line Japanese models, of course). Here is the solution: You need to place a penny, a dime or perhaps even a quarter on top of the stylus if adjusting the arm w/ the screw isn't sufficient. This should solve your problem.

unscrew the body of the pen; take the whole nib assembly out. Then pull the converter straight out. It will require some force, but the converter will slide out. You can then put the cartridge in its place.

You can replace the nib. Jinhao sells them but its easier to replace the entire tip. Many alternative sellers make nibs and tips that fit the barrel. Have you tried flushing your pen with alcohol? I Periodically have to hold mine under warm running water to unclog it. Sometimes have to take the pen apart and soak it (after long periods of not using the ink will dry inside) good luck. Ive been using my (ugly gold) pen for over a year.

How do you manage to use it without the stylus? My stylus tapping no longer works though the buttons and 5-way are fine. Now what?

Shake it upside down gently.... the ink needs to flow down to the tip.... Once the ink is flowing you should not have a problem again. Sometimes I wet the nib under some running water, and then blot it on a paper towel, this starts the capillary effect to pull the ink down also. When you change the ink you might want to rinse the nib, or flush the pen with water, and then put a new cartridge in, not every time, but every few weeks. I store the pen laying flat on my desk so the ink neither runs back out of the tip, or all into the tip endlessly. It always starts smooth and does not dry out quickly. I also carry it in my pocket most of the time I am not at my desk. I am loving this pen, even much more so than my more expensive ones. If you end up becoming a fountain pen lover, and use it a lot, google how to convert it to "dropper fill" Which is not hard, get an "o" ring that fits where the bottom screws up, then you just use an eye dropper, or syringe to fill the whole bottom body with ink, then screw it closed, you have a LOT more ink that way. 5ml instead of 0.75ml or so. http://www.gouletpens.com/Preppy_Eyedropper_Package_Set_p/package-preppyed.htm

I'm carrying a stylus in the little elastic tab thingy right now. It's *really* tight, though, so my regular fat stylus doesn't work. I've got another, thinner, pen/stylus combo device that slides right in. They can be had for $2 or so on the major online auction site we're not supposed to name.

take the cap off. Unscrew the body from the nib, and then put the thin end into the nib part. Screw on the body and it will self install.

You just push it in firmly. It will poke a hole. Don't cut it. Then sit the pen nib down for a few minutes and it should start writing. If not shake it a few times.
